What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit. Similar technologies — including localStorage and sessionStorage — work alongside cookies to store preferences locally in your browser. This policy covers all of these.

Lawful Basis (UK GDPR + PECR)
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest — they are essential to provide the service you requested and no consent is required. All other cookie categories (Performance, Functional, Advertising) require your explicit opt-in consent under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). You may withdraw consent at any time using the controls described below.
How to Manage Your Cookies on Mitchell County Social
When you first visit the site, a consent banner lets you choose "Accept all" or "Essential only". Your choice is stored in localStorage.__cc_v1. To change your choice later, clear the __cc_v1 key in your browser's Developer Tools storage panel, then reload the page — the banner will reappear.

Third-Party Cookies and Services
The following third parties may set cookies on your device when you consent:
- Cloudflare, Inc. — provides hosting, DDoS protection, and Web Analytics. Cloudflare processes minimal technical data (request metadata, approximate location) to deliver and protect the site. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and advertising cookies, and only strictly necessary cookies are set. The Do Not Track (DNT) header is acknowledged but does not currently alter our cookie behaviour independently of GPC.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be flagged via the consent banner on your next visit.
